Well, something like that. Check the Netfilter website -> Patch-O-Matic-NG -> Extra repository. You need the owner patch and the sup-gid patch. It's not really the same as in Windows (e.g. it won't give you popups) but you can do some owner matching. > If so could you outline how it would be done and I'll play > with it on my firewall script. See examples. Don't know if it'll fit your needs. Gr, Rob
